Winery / Producer: Bodegas Jorge Ordóñez (Prestigious label founded in 2004, globally renowned for rescuing and enhancing the ancient tradition of minimal intervention Málaga wines).

Specific Origin: La Axarquía region, D.O. Sierras de Málaga, Andalusia, Spain (Mountain vineyards with heroic viticulture).

Varietal Composition: 100% Moscatel de Alejandría, harvested from old vines aged between 50 and 80 years.

Terroir and Identity: Steep, very desert-like decomposed slate soils. The plots are located at high altitudes, exposed to radiant Mediterranean sun tempered by fresh Atlantic and Mediterranean currents, ensuring healthy overripening and vibrant acidity in the soils.

Elaboration Process: Heroic late manual harvest in small crates, transported by mules due to the slope. Very gentle pneumatic pressing and natural fermentation in stainless steel tanks. When the wine spontaneously reaches the perfect balance between alcohol and organic residual sugar, fermentation is stopped by lowering the temperature, without any added wine alcohol.

Style: High-end natural sweet white wine; aromatic, dense but agile, citrusy, and mineral.

Alcohol Content: Low and balanced, usually between 10% and 13% Vol. (Allowing the crystalline fruitiness of the grape to stand out).

Capacity: Elegant 750 ml bottle.

SKU: ESP-ORDONEZ-VICTORIA-1-750

Appearance: Displays a beautiful and brilliant pale golden yellow color with lovely greenish hints and crystalline reflections of great luminosity. Shows a sumptuous and elegant tearing when swirling the glass.

Nose: Of dazzling, seductive, and extremely pure aromatic impact. Opens with intense and clear notes of candied orange peel, orange blossom honey, fresh figs, and roasted apple. In a second layer, perfumed floral nuances of jasmine, alpine white flowers, and a subtle mineral and herbaceous background evoking the slate under the sun emerge.

Palate: Its entry is broad, opulent, and glycerin-rich, caressing the palate with a delicious syrupy texture. However, any hint of heaviness is immediately dissolved by a bright and refreshing citrus acidity that brings verticality to the sip. The finish is balanced, long, and persistent, leaving a clean aftertaste imbued with fresh tropical fruits and flowers.

Precision Gastronomic Pairing: Victoria Nº 1 is a titan at the table thanks to its perfect symbiosis between sugar and acidity. It pairs apotheosically and historically with Foie Gras (mi-cuit or pan-seared) and fine pâtés, where it elegantly cuts through the fat. It is the ideal partner for intense and aged cheeses: potent blue cheeses (Cabrales, Roquefort, Gorgonzola) or aged sheep's cheeses. In the sweet universe, it majestically accompanies acidic fruit desserts (apple tarts, lemon tart, tropical fruit mille-feuille), premium vanilla ice cream, or traditional pastries with almonds and pine nuts. In high Mexican cuisine, it creates sublime harmonies with chiles en nogada, complex moles poblanos, and even buñuelos with piloncillo syrup.

At what optimal temperature is Victoria Nº 1 White Wine recommended to be served?

To appreciate its fascinating floral and fruity aromatic range with absolute clarity without the sweetness overshadowing the palate, it is advisable to serve it well chilled, at an ideal range between 6°C and 8°C. It is suggested to keep the bottle in an ice bucket with water and ice throughout the after-dinner.

Does this sweet white wine contain industrially added alcohol or sugars?

No, not at all. Victoria Nº 1 is classified as a 'natural sweet' wine. This means that both the final alcohol content and the exquisite residual sweetness come 100% from the fermentation of the pure juice of overripe Moscatel grapes on the vine, without resorting to the addition of wine alcohol or external syrups.

What is the cellaring potential of this Jorge Ordóñez wine?

Thanks to its magnificent concentration of natural sugars and its vibrant structural acidity, Victoria Nº 1 has an extraordinary cellaring potential. Stored in optimal conditions, it will evolve with total grace over the next 5 to 8 years, gaining aromatic complexity with notes of dried fruits, dried apricots, fine hydrocarbons, and dark honeys.

How should the bottle be stored once opened at home?

Due to its stable sweet nature, the bottle keeps impeccably once opened for a period of 2 to 3 weeks. It only requires the cork to be firmly placed and kept stored in an upright position in the refrigerator to slow down any oxidation process of its volatile aromas.
